Thursday 008 Lokomotiv Moscow vs Basel
Lokomotiv Moscow will play a friendly match against Basel at 23:00 GMT on January 19, which is the day of the Orthodox Epiphany (the feast of the birth of Jesus), when, according to tradition, believers are required to jump into the freezing cold water to "purify" their souls.
And four Orthodox Christians from Lokomotiv Moscow, Tarasov, Kasaev, Makarov and Barinov, who are training in Spain, also completed their baptisms in the sea, with the cold temperatures of the water at night making the whole ceremony last only about a minute.
